Spectral Evidence: Poems by Gregory Pardlo (Knopf, January 30, 2024)

A powerful mediation on Blackness, beauty, faith, and the force of law from the beloved award-winning author of Digest and Air Traffic

Elegant, profound, and intoxicating—this is the author's first major collection of poetry after winning the Pulitzer Prize for Digest. Pardlo ponders the development of his own identity and sense of self as it was shaped against the glaring forces of whiteness.
